Talk about big appetites. You're going to need one if you think about tackling two of the newest edible entries in the 2008 book of Guinness World Records just released on Tuesday. There's the 4-pound, 1-ounce apple, looking just about as large as the head of its grower, Chisato Iwasaki of Hirosaki City, Japan. That's nothing, though, compared to the 78.5-pound burger from Bob's BBQ and Grill in Chonburi, Thailand. Now that's what I call a whopper! (You can view a slideshow of all the new entries from this article on MSNBC.com.)

Wow...are they edible. I wonder if an apple that big tastes like a regular apple. If they are anything like recipes usually something goes wrong with the flavor when you double, triple, or quadruple the recipe.
